Agriculture energy production, entrepreneurs and community development, horses, and organic agriculture are topics for eXtension webinars this month.
Each month experts from land-grant universities and industry use webinars to present information on seasonal topics and current research. eXtension is a network of researchers and educators from Cooperative Extension Services across the United States providing objective, research-based and credible information.
A webinar is an acronym for web-based seminar. Instead of traveling somewhere to attend a seminar, you meet in a virtual conference room on the internet. eXtension webinars are recorded and posted on http://www.extension.org for viewing on-demand.
